Abstract EN
To evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, possible etiology, prognosis and management of proteinuria in renal transplant recipients, we studied 435 adult renal transplant recipient patients randomly selected from our center; 394 patients were reviewed retrospectively and 41 patients were followed-up prospectively for a period of one year.
The patients were classified into three groups according to the results of urinalysis and spot urinary albumin creatinine ratio: Group A-patients with ormoalbuminuria; Group B-patients with microalbuminuria; and Group C - patients with macroalbuminuria.
Persistent post-transplantation proteinuria was detected in 125 (28.8 %) patients.
The etiology of post-transplantation proteinuria included chronic allograft dysfunction in 44 (35.2 %) patients, acute rejection in 40 (32 %) patients, transplant glomerulopathy in eight (6.4 %) patients, glomerular disease in 16 (12.8 %) patients and other etiology in 17 (13.6%) patients.
Proteinuric patients demonstrated significantly lower graft survival rates than did those without proteinuria (48.3 % versus 51.7 %, respectively; P = 0.017; Risk Ratio = 0.403; 95 % confidence interval 0.188-0.862).
We conclude that proteinuria is prevalent after kidney transplant in our population, and that it is most commonly associated with chronic allograft nephropathy, transplant glomerulopathy, glomerulonephritis and acute rejection.
Post-transplant proteinuria is associated with decreased allograft survival.
